Hyrule Warriors shows the Wii U's CPU isn't THAT weak

Obviously hit detection isn't applied to a mob that isn't being hit. (Though try running through your own troops; they DO have collision detection) But then, hit detection has to be run for when you wade through an army slashing in every direction. And you cannot run the animations and routines of hundreds of  haracters for the same performance hit as just one.

It really isn't the big deal you're making it out to be, and isn't a good indicator of the WiiU's power, I've been a game developer for an extremely long time, I have worked on games from all platforms, I was working on a WiiU project up until I resigned to handle my pregnancy, and now, take care of my child.

So I will leave it at this, since you're not going to agree regardless of which information is presented to you, regardless of how qualified the person presenting it is.

Out of curiosity, what other benchmark would you use? Multiplatform games seem an ill fit as they were designed for fundamentally differently CPUs.
